Why does LiDAR matter?

LiDAR is a technology that has impacted many industries and markets, from space travel, mapping, archaeology, construction, mining, and transportation. The automotive industry is rapidly adopting LiDAR technology to enable future safer vehicles in features known as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Also, there is much work on more advanced automotive features that can be termed as Autonomous Driving, where LiDAR plays a critical role. LiDAR, radar, camera systems, ultrasonic sensors, and other technologies work together to make drivers and passengers safer.
